New handle bars from a new company founded by Shuichi Osada called “Buoyancy” will be available in Sep. Takuji Kasahara and a few other riders have been testing this prototype and none of them got bent or broken so far. “So we can say it’s strong!” If anybody outside of Japan interested in this bars contact Takuji on facebook. It’s not clear right now if its a parts company, or frames as well. Specs for the bar above.

The Red Bull COB is right around the corner, I just came across this awesome COB hype video. I hear that buses are running from every city centre in japan to take riders to the contest, to say i’m excited to be going to this is an understatement!

“This was the second year with BMX Flatland at the Tuner Evolution car show in York, PA. This year we just did a jam or flatland showcase for the spectators. It was an awesome time with about 10 riders killing it all day.”
